and non-muslims, where muslims have to choose whether they're going to identify as a muslim or not and i think the fact that we're seeing attacks on mosques in response to isis directed and inspired attacks is a very worrisome sign, especially as it's coming other here. the couldn't messaging is, last lot that the obama admgs could have done in terms of countermessaging. mosul amic state held up as the capital of the caliphate. life in mosul was there. the government was nothing like what they had experienced. they had been living thunder government for three years. we took back mosul and destroyed city we should have had an aid convoy coming in to rebuild the city right after the fall of mosul to deliver to the people what the islamic state had taken away from them. we're looking at countermessage, the resonance, i think, here today, in terms of join the islamic state, be an instant member of a global community, defend muslims worldwide, do what the united states is not doing for your people. we missed the concept that there is a community that allah has united under his faith that he

what's the mood of the muslim community like right now? it's pretty sad to see hate crimes increasing against muslims in america. at the same time, we strongly condemn the terrorism that occurred last weekend against the minnesota mosque. i'm deeply saddened to see president trump not address it so far. i hope the muslim community would step up its outreach efforts to the white house if we want to see a strong response coming from there. we can't be on the receiving end or play the victim games. we have to be proactive and must engage with the white house. >> i don't know what we can do to reach out to donald trump. the man who demonized us during the campaign saying that islam hates us, thousands of muslims cheering in new jersey on 9/11, rudy giuliani said that wasn't true. >> dean, people change their views. >> here's what i said. if donald trump wanted to reach out to the communities that he demonized during this campaign from latinos to us to the disabled to women, go out and meet them. invite them to the white house. i'm a muslim guy

muslim doing something reprehensible is one too many for me but i think. mostly i would agree actually but focusing disproportionately on i don't these but when muslims do it is doing nothing but allowing the this deep problem which with deep roots throughout the establishment to perpetrate further and to claim that it's some kind of. just merely because i really agree with if i can interject just for a minute your right when you say that eighty percent of the crimes committed there are paid a failure rate white people this is still a majority of white country but when you look that muslims are according to statistics five percent of the population and then that the statistics of how many are carrying out these these heinous acts against but don't want girls there is the racism their racism is towards the white girls asian people and muslim people are not excessively outside of statistical significance disproportionately represented when you look at the country as a whole now in places where there's where there's a lot of asians slash muslims i agree there

if a muslim does such an ask it is islamic terrorism. we don't know much about the individual or the family or the background or anything. we label one and a half million people by the behavior of the one or the 19, it is wrong, very wrong. you cannot do that. and labeling christians because some christian is shooting or went to a school and started shooting. that would be wrong too. put all the people together and label them by the behavior of the one or the few or doing that in this country now. when the shooting took place in san bernardino, i saw it on tv. what went through my mind immediately is my daughter because she works for the county. in that area, she was held up and certified so that was the first thing. as a father you worry about your children first but then as an american, a palestinian arab-american, i'm not muslim either, i am catholic actually. as an american, arab-american, i got very worried that the shooter or shooters may be arab or muslim. thank god they weren't arab, they were pakistani. that contributes to label

for example, in india, we have rising muslim-hindu tensions and and muslims are increasingly feeling persecuted under prime moodie's government. again, grievances real or perceived. in bangladesh, you also have the same kind of tensions, and isis online has specifically expressed an interest in going into bangladesh because it is a win-win situation for them. one is, it is the fourth largest muslim population in the world, so they have this big potential pool of recruits. secondly, they have a border with india, which is not so easy to monitor. so they get a two-for-one, if you will, if they go into bangladesh. so what can these governments do? what are some of the things we can look at how to combat? in south asia in particular, because they have not necessarily been on the front lines of fighting isis like the middle east or europe or the the challenget between walking a fine line between being extremely aggressive and being extremely vocal about their increasing efforts to combat isis, and becoming a target because of that. the more they say they are combating isis, the more they

many muslims fled east and west out of hindu—dominated india. similarly, millions of hindus and sikhs headed the other way. but today, it's the birth of their nation, that pakistanis are celebrating. reeta chakrabarti is in lahore. george, lahore feels like one giant st party and you can probably hear it, there are flags and horns and fireworks. pakistanis are celebrating two things, the end of british colonial rule and also the splitting from india. pakistan was created as a homeland for the sub continent ‘s muslim people but there has been a debate going on about exactly what sort of country it should be. i have been looking at the hopes of the country's founding father and looking at how differently his vision has been interpreted by people today. in pakistan's former capital karachi, mohammadjinnah‘s home is preserved with care and reverence. jinnah led the creation of pakistan, but today his legacy is hotly contested. just what sort of nation did he envisage? mohammad ali jinnah, pakistan's first governor general. as the british left co
